number of active magicbands

[AngiTN]

I swear I saw a sign in the Frontierland Trading Post saying there was a limit on the number of active MagicBands (something like 5 regular & 5 Limited Edition or 5 old ones and 5 2.0s - can't remember). Disney's website said there's no limit, so either that has changed or it was wrong.

As far as activating and deactiving - it's incredibly easy to do, and can be done in seconds and through the app. We did it a bunch of times our last trip when our son was misbehaving - he'd try it at the room door and we'd say Mickey shut it off. Then we'd just turn it right back on from our phones.

It was wrong

Unfortunately deactivating then didn't remove them from your record so it won't help with the overloaded data base problem. Only IT can remove them

I recognize that this is an old thread. My opinion is the same.

Well, I have probably 15 MB on my account and I always have some kind of problem with my MB not being able to open our door at various points during our vacation.

I have more than that and have had no door glitches. My cousin had two and one day couldn’t open our door. The next day it worked just fine. And we hadn’t done anything to her band.

I kept misplacing bands and then grabbing another from my baggie that I keep in my owners locker and they all worked just fine.


Disney continues to want to blame the bands, but if it were the fault of too many bands then, as I said months ago, people like me wouldn’t have the no-issues experiences.

Agree with @bumbershoot above. Its not the number of MB's (active or inactive) that cause problems. We've got at least 20 on our account. No issues at all.
